Calculate distance and integrate form with GetSwift

    Asked on March 11, 2018 at 12:33 PM

    I need to have a form that will display the distance between the two entered addresses. Using that distance and other variables to give some estimates on the cost. 

    The calculation needs to be like

    VariableA($) + (Distance(miles) - VariableB(miles)) × VariableC($) = Estimates($)

    Would be nice if VariableA and VariableC are based on the selected value from the drop down on the form. 

    Following that then the user can submit the request that can be sent to getswift. Please advise if this is possible within jotform. i believe it is but i need the feature as soon as possible so wanted to check if it can be done or would have to find other resources. I read your forms can submit to getswift. I have created the account with you already.

    Thanks.

    Calculating distance between two addresses is possible with the help of the Driving Distance widget. Then from there, we can get the Estimates by using conditions and/or the Form Calculation widget (if necessary).

    Here's a sample form that is based on the form I created for another user in this thread — https://form.jotform.com/80694637946978

    That form calculates a cost which is $8 for the first 12 miles and succeeding miles will be charged an additional $0.80/mi. The Driving Distance widget in that form is set to auto-calculate and you need to wait for a few seconds for the distance value to appear.

    To my understanding, that's what you are trying to achieve with just additional variables and a different computation. However, I'm afraid we do not have a direct integration with GetSwift and Zapier's integration is "GetSwift to JotForm" based on what I have searched online — https://zapier.com/apps/getswift/integrations/jotform

    You're most welcome!

    So you can inspect my sample form above better, please feel free to clone it to your account. — How-to-Clone-an-Existing-Form-from-a-URL

    I would suggest that you check the following on the clone version:

    1. The Driving Distance widget settings
